My wife and I both have accounting degrees. We met through an accounting fraternity and yes that’s as nerdy as it sounds. We were both “older” second run students. She already had other degrees I had spent time in the Army. We both sat for the CPA once to get grandfathered out of ridiculous credit requirement changes.

She worked for a big 4. I went to work totally un accounting related due to a resume snafu and I didn’t want to wait for the next 6 months recruiting period. They worked her hard.

For me, as I joke, it was either Greek or accounting as I knew the same about both. Zero. I had family members who were accountants and I figured there are 26 letters and 10 numbers - numbers are bound to be simpler. Busted my ass for 6 semesters in 2 years (full time summers).
